Pairing a user response and associated context with a neural network associated with a virtual assistant computer during a dynamic text conversation with an end user. The virtual assistant computer receives a detected user generated text input; determines context of the detected user generated text input; compares the context of the detected user generated text input by comparing a confidence score representing context of the user generated input to a classification associated with each of a plurality of existing nodes of a neural network. For confidence scores below a threshold relative to the classification associated with each of the existing nodes of the neural network, the virtual assistant computer creates a new node within the neural network and assigns the context of the user generated text to the new node.

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for initiating a conversation by a virtual agent. The boundary of a widget of a webpage the user is utilizing is determined. The user's interactions or lack of interactions with the widget within the determined boundary of the widget of the webpage is then determined, such as based on tracking the eye gaze or focus of the user. If it is determined that the user is experiencing difficulty in utilizing the widget, then the content associated with the widget is extracted. The extracted widget content is then mapped to the virtual agent content. The virtual agent is instructed to initiate a conversation based on the extracted widget content. In this manner, the virtual agent will now be able to dynamically initiate a conversation with the user to assist the user in addressing a problem the user is currently experiencing with the widget.

Utilizing widget content by virtual agent to initiate conversation

An approach is provided in which an information handling system receives a request for a product from a first entity that includes multiple components.
